A few tram lines (including the 1, which runs through most of the city center and near the central train station) are still operated with vintage trams built in the 1920s; ten of those vehicles were shipped to the USA and are now in use on San Francisco's 'F' streetcar line: http://www.streetcar.org/streetcars/1811/ To find out connections throughout the Lombardy region (bus, rail, etc.) check the Lombardy regional government's journey planner.
